pin information

You'll need to expand a bit more. What precisely does your input look like? "A list with some pins of layout" doesn't really explain it very well...

If it was terminal names:

termNameList=list("inm" "inp" "outm" "outp" "VDD" "VSS")
pinInfoList=nil
foreach(termName termNameList
  term=dbFindTermByName(cvId termName)
  foreach(pin term~>pins
    foreach(pinFig pin~>figs
      pinInfoList=cons(list(termName pinFig~>layerName centerBox(pinFig~>bBox)) pinInfoList)
    )
  )
)

At the end pinInfoList would be (maybe) what you want. However, I may have completely misinterpreted your question, since it wasn't clear.

Hi Andrew,

By doing some other operations, i had a list of pins which are in layout.( A kind of sub-set of all layout pins of that level).

If cv=geGetWindowCellView() and myList = ("inp" "inm" "out" "VSS" "VDD")

Is cvId = cv~>view or cv~>viewName ? Both are throwing error. Its showing arg#1 should be a database object (type templete="dt") for "dbFindTermByName"

cvId=cv  ; (i.e. cvId=geGetEditCellView() or geGetWindowCellView())

The error (and documentation for dbFindTermByName) should have made that pretty clear - even the quick help in cdsFinder:

dbFindTermByName(
d_cellView
t_name
)
=> d_term / nil

Finds a terminal in a cellview.

If you have a list of pins, are these the pin objects, or the pin figures? If it was pin figures, then you'd just do:

foreach(mapcar pinFig listOfPinFIgs list(pinFig~>pin~>term~>name pinFig~>layerName centerBox(pinFig~>bBox)))

As I said, asking a clear question is pretty important here - otherwise we have to guess what your data  looks like.

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi LakshmanQual,

Here is my script to find pins in the layout.

I hope this help.

Hi   Marben Orallo and Andrew,

I already had a list which i got them with some operations in the skill code as pins_conflicts= ("inp" "inm" "out" "vdd" "vss").

For Eg:

cv=geGetWindowCellView()

pins = cv~>terminals~>pins~>name = ("in1" "in2" "inp" "inm" "vdda" "vssa" "out" "vdd" "vss" "gnd" "out2" "out3" "out4" "out5" )

......

.......

after some operations i got few of the conflict pins from the above as 

pins_conflicts= ("inp" "inm" "out" "vdd" "vss").

I want to find the pins which are in "pins_conflicts" list from my layout and find co-ordinates and pin layers. I need to code in the same skill code.

In the following code

foreach( pin pins_conflicts

printf("%L" "%L" "%L\n" pin pin~>fig~>lpp centerBox(pin~>fig~>bBox))

...

 i cant apply pin~>bBox or pin~>fig~>bBox as already 'pin' is in text format and not the 'hexcode'

Could you please consider the above criteria and help in coding as mentioned above.

Andrew, Sorry for not asking the question clearly. 

Hi LakshmanQual,

Something like this, is what you want ?

procedure( pins()
 pins = list("in1" "in2" "inp" "inm" "vdda" "vssa" "out" "vdd" "vss" "gnd" "out2" "out3" "out4" "out5" )
 pins_conflicts= list("inp" "inm" "out" "vdd" "vss")
 foreach(pin pins  
  foreach(pin_conflict pins_conflicts
   if( pin_conflict == pin then    
    printf("\n " pin_conflict_id~>name pin_conflict_id~>lpp centerBox(pin_conflict_id~>fig~>bBox))
   );if
  ) ;for
 ) ;for
) ;proc

Best regards,

Marben

Hi Marben,

A kind of same. But no need to compare with actual pins of layouts.

But where can i get "pin_conflict_id" in your script?

Something like this.

cv = geGetEditCellView()
pins = cv~>terminals~>pins
pins_conflict_id = setof(x pins x~>name == "inp" || x~>name == "inm" || x~>name == "out" || x~>name == "vdd" || x~>name == "vss")

Best regards,

Marben

Are you really using the pin names, or the terminal names? The pin names aren't normally that important in a layout - it's the terminal names that matter. If you are trying to identify the pins from the pin names you'd use:

foreach(term cvId~>terminals
  foreach(pin term~>pins
    when(member(pin~>name pins_conflicts)
      foreach(pinFig pin~>figs
        printf("%L %L %L\n" pin~>name pinFig~>lpp centerBox(pinFig~>bBox))
      )
    )
  )
)

or something like that.

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Its working exactly what i want.

Can we find all the lpp and Bbox of those pins which are repeated in the above 'pins_conflicts' list?
